Case law is law. Employees don’t get to say when their employer is abusing their office. That is a legal determination and the courts have ruled. The clerks should all resign. Or sabotage and get ready to go to jail to express their civil disobedience.

The courts are not the "employers" of the clerks. That would be the people who have elected them.
Why don't we ask her employers how they feel about forcing her to issue homosexual marriage licenses? I very much doubt the "consent of the governed" is in favor of it.
Are you in favor of government by the consent of the governed?

I think that it's an important "check and balance" against judicial tyranny that elected officials can follow their consciences and tell the judges to go to hell. If the elected official is out of line IN THE OPINION OF THE PEOPLE, then that elected official can be impeached and removed.
Have enough of this happen, and judges just might decide to stay within the actual confines of their authority.
